Podcasts about Wangaratta

He's a smooth operator in more ways than one, creating a story that started in Wangaratta, moved around the country for 32 years, with the current chapter being written in Melbourne. A survivor of 45 years in the biz…it's Mike Perso! Enjoy!

The famous Hoysted racing dynasty had its origins in Victoria early in the twentieth century and has produced generations of successful horse trainers. The most celebrated was Fred Hoysted who won 17 Melbourne premierships from his Mentone base. Like most of his predecessors 33 year old Matthew Hoysted began his journey in Wangaratta, before working under the wing of some top Melbourne horsemen. In 2014 he decided on a move to Queensland when a job came up with Tony Gollan after which he spent eight years in partnership with recently retired Steve O'Dea. Matt went solo just over a year ago, and is already making his presence felt in the Brisbane training ranks. He begins the podcast by talking about his on course stabling at Eagle Farm and the close proximity of his home. Matt talks about the success he enjoyed on Saturday March 15th- a quinella in the last race at Eagle Farm and a Gold Coast double which included a win with Hearts Are Better in the 3YO Jewel. He looks back on eighteen rewarding months with Tony Gollan whose star was rising rapidly. Matt says the offer he received from Steve O'Dea was too good to refuse. He spent four years as O'Dea's assistant trainer before being promoted to training partner. He formed an association with Jamie Walter's Proven Thoroughbreds during his time with Steve O'Dea and was delighted when Walter agreed to continue that support following O'Dea's retirement. One of the best horses Hoysted got to co-train with O'Dea was Scallopini  who won 13 races and was placed 14 times. He acknowledges the talents of the genuine galloper. Matt says he and Steve O'Dea were usually on the same wavelength when it  came to planning the campaigns of horses in their care. He pays a fitting tribute to Uncommon James, the best horse he got to co-train with O'Dea. He looks back on the gelding's Oakleigh Plate win in 2023 as an almost surreal experience.  Matt says he wasn't surprised when Steve announced his retirement from the Brisbane training ranks. The young trainer looks back on early days with the O'Dea stable where he met the girl destined to become his wife and the mother of his two young daughters. He talks about Caitlin's pride and joy Pickabee, a daughter of Jet Spur with whom she won five races. Coincidentally, Pickabee would become the dam of Uncommon James. Matt looks back on his formative years in Wangaratta and early tuition from his father Greg. He also spent some time with another training relative Roger Hoysted. He puts the spotlight on grandfather Ron (call me Mick) who trained a Gr 1 sprinter in the 1980's. Another member of the clan to get a mention is Hal Hoysted winner of 25 premierships in north eastern Victoria. Matt relates the stories he's heard from family members about Fred “Father” Hoysted, winner of 17 Melbourne premierships between 1933 and 1958.  He talks of the racing blood on the distaff side of his family. His mother Ronda is the daughter of John Hickmott and sister to Robert and Michael- all successful trainers.  Matt takes us back to the early years of his racing education and valuable time spent at Flemington and Macedon Lodge.  He talks of his association with some high profile horses during his time under the Lloyd Williams banner. He treasures the memory of five years with the late Michael Moroney at Flemington. Matt adds his personal tribute to the many already circulated for the great New Zealand born horseman. For punters listening to the podcast, Matt pointers a couple of promising horses currently in the stable. It's a laid back chat with a young man who has the right pedigree and the right temperament to make it to the top in a very demanding profession.

Send us a textIn today's episode, we look at how social media gives us a grab-bag of people's memories of stars and some who weren't quite so successful, or scarcely successful at all.  Nonetheless, they are remembered by some and lionised on social media. The other side of "on-line" is the channels that present video imagery of any and everything, such as YouTube, TikTok and so on.  Jeff presents a bunch of interesting links for you to investigate.   In “Knockin' on Heaven's Door”, we lament the passing of such greats as David Sanbourn, John Mayall, as well as a couple of guys who have played beneath the radar for most of their career but still worked with giants like Frank Zappa, Jean-Luc Ponty, Ray Charles, Steve Hackett, and many others. Our “Album You Must Hear Before You Die” is John Mayall's “Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton” from 1966.  The album featured John Mayall, Eric Clapton, John McVie (Fleetwood Mac) and Hughie Flint (Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band) and marks the start of Clapton's legend as a British guitar god.  References:  social media, Nick Cave, “Australian bands from the 60's - 90's”, music nostalgia, Mi-Sex, Graffiti Crimes, Kevin Stanton, “Computer Games”, Space Race, “Live at the Wireless”, Kransky Sisters, Second Thoughts, Split Enz, Mental Notes, “Stranger than fiction”, Husker Du, Bob Mould, Greg Norton, Tim Walz, The Angels, Selina's, Coogee Bay Hotel, cost of stadium tours, Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band, Mick Conway, My Wahini in Wangaratta, Tamam Shud, The Dynamic Hepnotics, A Soul Kind of Feeling, Quora, Reddit, YouTube, "What's In My Bag?", Amoeba Music, Professor of Rock, Rick Beato, Playing For Change, the Needle Drop, Top 5 Record, Billy the Mountain, (Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention), Aynsley Dunbar, Howard Kaylan & Mark Volman, The Turtles, Anthony Amaratti, Muiris Mac Cartaine  Links:  Playlist (including “Billy The Mountain”) Other Links:Amoeba Music - What's In My Bag? Professor of Rock Rick Beato  Playing For Change When the Levee Breaks The Needle Drop Top Five Record Lists Billy the Mountain - Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention Computer Games – The Kransky sisters

In order to find the right races for his horses, Ben Brisbourne makes full use of his ideal Wangaratta base to campaign in two states. He frequently has runners in rural Victoria but often appears in the NSW Riverina region. Great to catch up with a young horseman from a Shropshire racing family in the UK, who arrived in Melbourne unheralded and unsung a decade ago. He looks back on his reasons for trying the Aussie scene. Ben says he had a few contacts in Australia before making such a bold move. He looks back on track work duties for a handful of Melbourne trainers. The expatriate Englishman talks of his rewarding five years with the Lindsay Park operation at Euroa. Ben takes us back to his early life at Shrewsbury in Shropshire and the influence of his father Mark. He talks of Mark's achievement in the riding and training ranks.  He identifies two tracks where his father enjoyed great success, and talks of his achievements with inexpensive horses. Ben says Mark was forced to walk away from training for a while, but is back in the game as foreman for a high profile trainer. Brisbourne looks back on a college degree which he attained simply to appease his parents. The Wangaratta trainer looks back on valuable time spent with a legendary UK jumps trainer. Ben looks back on his brief career as an amateur jockey.  He fondly recalls his first meeting with a vet nurse at Lindsay Park who was destined to become his partner and the mother of his twin sons. Ben outlines Heather's short career as a jockey and the painful back injury that brought her riding aspirations to a close. He talks of their Wangaratta farm, and the twin boys who keep them busy from dawn to dusk. He acknowledges Heather's role in the running of the business. The trainer looks at the Wangaratta training facilities and its ideal location. Ben won't forget the trip to NSW which brought a memorable win in the famous Snake Gully Cup. He goes back to the magical occasion of his very first training win with Shoplifter at Albury, and the equally exciting experience of winning his first city win. Ben acknowledges the special horses who've contributed to his rise in the training ranks. He talks of the talented apprentices who've been part of his journey. The thirty five year old revisits the thrill of an unexpected trainer's award in 2021. Ben discusses his immediate plans, and looks to the future. Ben Brisbourne continues to make his presence felt in the horse training ranks. He doesn't have a single regret about leaving his native England a decade ago.

NSW southern districts racing lost a loyal and dedicated servant recently when Darryl McLean called time on his 48 year career as a member of the SDRA Stewards panel. He officiated for the last time at the Corowa meeting on Monday July 31st and by his own admission left the course with very mixed feelings. It's my great pleasure to catch up with Darryl on this week's podcast to talk about his remarkable transition from furniture salesman to stipendiary steward. He attended a Sunday meeting at Wagga the following Sunday, but only as a spectator. He received a special surprise on the day. Darryl says his final day at Corowa was emotion charged. Wangaratta born and raised, McLean says there wasn't a trace of racing in his family background. He talks of a boyhood fascination with Aussie Rules football.  Darryl looks back on his first job with Paterson's Pty Ltd Furniture and Floor Coverings. He spent most of his time on the road canvassing business. He says it came as a big surprise when the boss informed him of a transfer to the company's Wagga division. Darryl says his passion for football led him to a coaching job with the Wagga TIgers Under 16's side. It wasn't long before new found friends talked him into joining the crowd at the Wagga races. He says he was hooked from the moment he heard those drumming hooves. Darryl says his lifelong interest in thoroughbred breeding developed in those early days. He looks back on the advertisement in the Daily Advertiser calling for expressions of interest in a job as a cadet steward. He applied and was given a one month probationary period. He says he combined stewarding duties with his job at Patersons Pty Ltd for close to a decade. Darryl remembers his early days in the new job working at race meetings as far away as Balranald. He pays tribute to the stewards from whom he learned his craft. Darryl's sense of humour comes to the fore as he tells the story of the real reason he took to wearing a hat. He acknowledges the good advice he received from Bill Armstrong who was then Chairman of the SDRA. He'd previously been a high profile race starter in Victoria. He tells the humorous story of the jockey who told the starter at a Non TAB Griffith meeting that his mount may not get around the first turn. The rest of the story is very entertaining. Darryl shares memories of a certain overweight clerk of the course who devised a novel way of mounting his pony. He talks of the days when stewards didn't have the luxury of modern technology as an aid to assessing race interference. The respected steward talks about the downside of having to ban licenced people who've been involved in malpractice. He had his own way of coping with it. Darryl talks of some outside business interests he pursued while working as a steward. He talks of his property close to Wagga where his wife Pauline runs half a dozen thoroughbred broodmares. He talks of a Wagga Cup win in 1990 which brought tears to the eyes of most spectators. The veteran pays tribute to a handful of special horses who've raced in the Riverina under his watch. Darryl acknowledges the talents of some of the leading riders and trainers he's known during his tenure. He predicts a bright future for a young female apprentice who only recently went on loan to a top Sydney stable. Darryl says southern districts racing is in the hands of some outstanding young stewards. An enjoyable chat with a man whose contribution to NSW country racing will be long remembered.
